this bbs and its members must constitute a pretty high% of the remaining cars. esp when you consider how many own multiple cars or have had parts cars run through their garage.

Morning, Kevin,
I hate to burst your bubble, but there were almost 119,000k cars made. Unless some of us have REALLY big garages.... ;-) |

lawrence, is that # total run or imported cars? when you figure attrition/ totals, i still think the % would be surprising. with the two i have and the 3 i went through for parts thats five through my garage alone.

Total run.
My gut tells me that 60-65% of the US cars have already been junked. I'm sure a lot of them are sitting in garages, owned by non-web folks. That number is a total SWAG, but I believe (and hope) there are more out there than we have any idea about. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

P.S. 83,000 of the 914/4s came to the US. That's a HUGE amount of cars. (Source: old 914 Club web site)
P.P.S. But I do agree that we're probably one the greatest groups of 914 fans ever assembled! This post has been edited by Lawrence: Jul 18 2003, 07:49 AM |

Rusty, you think there is roughly 29,000 cars left? I think that is pretty high of an estimate.
Yeah, yeah, most where imported to rust free California but I still think we are lucky if there is 20,000 left either running or parked considering the battery rust problem. Geoff |

Member #914 will receive a free can of POR 15, a sticker and a bag of goodies. Maybe a tour the Porsche factory and a ride in one of the 914-8s, including a consultation with DD on everything that you ever wanted to know about the 914 but never took the time to learn.
Kind of makes you wish that you had waited to join. CCLINHOPUPHEAVEN |

yeah, but the actual member ID is not the same as the number of members ...
859 members, where the latest members has number #928. the reason for this is: the database keeps a internal counter of all signups that increments by one each time someone signs up. but every time we delete a member (fake signups from spammers mostly), that counter stays where it is. later, Andy |
